MTU Audit Inspections reporting is available for completion thorugh the upgraded Record of Fishing Vessels (RFV) system. The VMS MTU/ALC Audit Inspection results are submitted on behalf of your CCM and in partial fulfilment of CMM 2014-02 9a VMS SSPs 2.1.3 and 7.2.2 reporting requirement in Annual Report Part 2 (AR Pt2). Previous year reports should be submitted no later than 1 July of the current year to enable their consideration in the draft CMR and TCC Annual Reporting.
Applicability: All CCMs that have answered “YES” to CMM 2014-02 9a VMS SSPs 2.1.3 and 7.2.2 question AR Pt 2 should complete this section.
To submit your MTU Audit Inspeciton reporting go to the Manage Vessel page and click on the option MTU Register in the Actions menu. The MTU Register provides the list of your CCMs flagged vessels that are active on the RFV.
The MTU Register page is only accessible by authorised RFV and VMS users within a CCM party. See the article on User Roles and Access Permissions if you believe that you should be able to view and/or manage MTU information.
To submit an MTU Audit Inspection, select the relevant vessel from the MTU Register (alternatively you may follow the steps for Finding vessel details for a specific vessel), which will take you to a specific vessels page. Navigate to the tabs at the bottom of the specific vessel page (see screenshot below). Click on MTU Audits tab (yellow box) to view the list of MTU Audit Inspections that have been reported to WCPFC for that vessel.
Click on Add MTU Audit (yellow arrow) to submit a new MTU Audit Inspection Report.
This will take you to the Add New MTU Audit page (see screenshot below) and the vessel will be pre-selected. CCMs can complete the details for the MTU Inspection undertaken in this box as applicable. The values with red * are the minimum mandatory fields.
MTU Audits may be submitted for a Vessel MTU record that has previously been registered with WCPFC by selecting a MTU unit that appears in the drop-down list for Vessel MTU - this will prepopulate the approved MTU type.
Alternatively, MTU Audits may be submitted for MTUs that are yet to be registered with WPCFC, by maintaining the Vessel MTU selection with the choice of -Select a value- and rather choose the appropriate value from the Approved MTU Type drop-down list.
